More on WM5 and Spb Pocket Plus Extended themes

If you have problems getting the extended themes to install:

Are you using this version of Spb Pocket Plus:

"Version 3.0.1

Windows Mobile installation bug fixes"

Edit: I just found out that Spb indeed are working on another fix for the problem so the problem might be gone soon.

WM5 and today themes

There seems to be an issue with today themes in WM5. They will show up as selectable but then when you choose them it will just go back to the default today theme.

Also, themes which aren't Spb Pocket Plus extended seems to work so the issue could be with Spb Pocket Plus itself. Anyone else had problems with this?

I don't have a WM5 device yet so I can't verify or fix this but as soon as I get one I'll look into it. I hope HP comes out with their update for the hx4700 quickly, or I'll just have to jump ship and get a Dell.

The trouble with WeatherPanel

Although WP is one of the best today weather programs there is, and almost the only one with animations I'm considering removing it from the "What is on my screen" page. Why?

The developer seems to have gone missing for many months, not answering support emails etc. I understand this could be caused by many things: disaster, family emergency... But I'm not sure I can recommend the program until he shows up again.

I'm trying to decide which program I should recommend instead of WP. PocketWeather by SBSH is a strong contender, but sadly it lacks animation support (although I think the developer is going to try to implement it). Spb Weather is another good one - it is also easy to implement into skin packs when it comes to usability since it lets you create an install executable. Spb Weather doesn't have animation support either. I once talked to Vassili from Spb about this and he thinks users don't really want the flashy graphics :D.

Which program do you think should be recommended?
